The National Association of Home Builders, NAHB, has introduced the NAHB Green Building Program so any builder, anywhere, can build truly green homes - in a way that’s market-driven, voluntary and affordable.

NAHB Green is an umbrella program for services and resources available to home builders and local home builder associations all over the country, including green home certification administered by the NAHB Research Center, the Certified Green Professional designation for America’s builders, and a variety of educational and promotional activities.

A Home built to the National Green Building Standard:

• LOWERS COSTS
  Over time, these savings can really add up.  For example, a Silver-rated home saves 35%-50% more energy than homes built to the latest energy codes (the IECC 2006).
• REDUCES MAINTENANCE
  The systems used within the home work efficiently and effectively together, resulting in less upkeep and maintenance chores.
• PROVIDES HEALTHY, COMFORTABLE LIVING
  Homes that are well ventilated allow for proper air exchange, and low-emitting products like low- or no-VOC paints reduce health risks from off-gassing.
• BENEFITS THE ENVIRONMENT
  Decreased energy and water concumption and increased renewable, recycled, and other efficient building products all reduce the impact on our resources.
